In all honesty, gay marriage, what is the problem with it?

Question

To anti-gay marriage people:

This is my honest opinion of your motivations on this topic:

Do you really care about two homosexuals marrying each other OR are you just against it because you want to control something and make the other side lose?

  I don't mean to sound patronizing but seriously the conservative movement has been losing some serious ground since Bush left.  Is THIS issue THAT important to take the chance of sullying your already damaged image.

I just can't believe that most of you care that much about this when we have been seeing gays openly living together.  In all these years no one has been struck down by lightning.  The other reason is pure hate but I just don't believe that is the case.  I honestly believe this is a fight that the Right wants to make only because they want to win something.

So will it be worth it if you win?  Do you see this as the issue that will rebuild the GOP?  I don't think so but I'd like opinions.

Merriam-Webster.com
Marriage:
The state of being united to a person of the OPPOSITE SEX as a husband or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law.
If you want to change the meaning of words, let's call a computer a commode, and call a commode a S.U.V.
Doesn't make any sense, does it.
DEAL WITH THE MEANING OF MARRIAGE!

The stakes are pretty high:

If it passes, gays will live together openly in our society, their relationships will be casually treated as normal on tv, and discrimination against them will be discouraged.

If it fails, gays will live together openly in our society, their relationships will be casually treated as normal on tv, and discrimination against them will be discouraged.

So yeah, it matters a lot.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with it, there is however a problem with people using a religion or religious group to ban or stand against everything they don't believe in.

Too little too late for the GOP. They are trying the same "pretending to be tolerant" game with Immigration.
